Question 3

i had a barium swallow test done and they said that i have a blockage in the esophagus. they need to do a camera scope. could it be a tumor?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not: Most likely not but needs to be ruled out!  At your age most likely is related to reflux.  The esophagus can create a ring that tries to keep acid in the stomach.  However, be diligent and get that scope done

Question 4

i'am the lady with the pain for 4 yrs...this is the continue... i have been to the er multiple times in the last 4 yrs.i have had endless tests.ultrasounts, mri's, hiates, colonoscopy, endoscopy, endless bloodwork, tests to check my kidneys, camera insert

Accepted Answer

Returning : Returning to the er is unlikely to help make the diagnosis.  Er's are set up for emergency situations, and they cannot perform complicated testing as you know.  The best thing is to establish with an excellent primary care physician, either an internal medicine or family practice physician.  However, you need to know that there are some conditions that cannot be diagnosed by current technology, and it is a matter of managing the symptoms.  While that is a frustrating situation, it is reality, and is something to consider as you go through this process.

Question 5

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

what to do if i get naked on camera for older guys to make myself feel better?

Accepted Answer

Speak with : Seek a therapist and speak with them in regards to why you think you need to participate in such behavior just to feel better.  Your self-esteem and self-confidence could be the core of the problem.  All the best!

Question 8

how do i get kid brother to leave me alone? he puts cameras in my room and harasses my boyfriends.

Accepted Answer

Not okay: You should remind him to not do things to you that he wouldnt want done to him.  You should voice your concerns to your parents to help you out.

Question 9

if i am at home on my pc with a camera, will you be able to see me and i be able to see you through healthtap?

Accepted Answer

Healthtap: Yes that can happen under the right circumstances.

Question 10

is that capsule camera good as colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Not for prime time.: Capsule colonoscopy is not fda approved. It does not seem as accurate as colonoscopy at this time. In one study, 5 cancers were diagnosed with 2 of them missed by capsule colonoscopy. If a polyp is identified by capsule colonoscopy, it still needs to be removed by a regular colonoscopy. You get another prep. There are newer steerable models (with magnets) which may improve accuracy.
